The North Face Summit VECTIV Sky

The North Face Summit VECTIV Sky is a precision-focused trail racer built for runners who want a fast, agile ride on technical terrain. Sitting in the Summit Series as a lighter, lower-profile counterpart to the brand’s more cushioned options, it pairs a propulsive VECTIV rocker with a stabilizing carbon-fiber plate to keep you driving forward when the trail turns steep, rocky, and off-camber. With a secure, sock-like fit and a protective yet airy upper, it’s tuned for race-day efforts and sharp, quick training runs.

Highlights

• VECTIV 2.0 rockered midsole uses a full-length carbon-fiber plate with a forked heel/forefoot design for stable propulsion on uneven trails
• Dual-density, high-rebound EVA midsole balances protection and responsiveness without feeling bulky
• Forefoot Pebax insert adds extra pop and efficiency when you’re pushing pace uphill
• Precision-fit last with a sock-fit entry and gusseted tongue for a secure, debris-resistant lockdown
• Breathable engineered-mesh upper reinforced with TPU overlays and rearfoot ripstop for durability and structure
• SURFACE CTRL rubber outsole with multidirectional lugs delivers confident grip on loose dirt, gravel, and mixed mountain terrain
• Offset, braided laces help reduce pressure points and stay tied when you’re moving fast over long descents
